Melbourne’s Yarra Bend

In the middle of Melbourne, is a piece of natural beauty, Yarra Bend. As the name suggests, Melbourne’s Yarra River runs through the bush land setting.

I decided to hike this section of the Yarra taking along my daughter’s two poodles. The problem was, once I set off along this trail, I couldn’t stop especially as I saw only one other person on the trail. The gum trees along the bank and the sound of running water was the perfect escape from a traffic filled city.
